Nicknames I Have and Why

A, Ad, and Ads - Shortened versions of my name
Abigail - My dad calls me this to be funny cos it kinda rhymes with my name
Adi or Addy - The girls I used to coach and my niece call me this since my name is hard to say
Adielita - A nickname from my mom
AC - My initials

I think that's it. Any I forgot?

Lets talk nicknames

The name Adiel doesn't really give you much in the way of nicknames so I haven't had a whole lot of good nicknames in my life.

Stemming from my name:
Ad
Ads
Adi
Adella
Della
Della Bella
Adella-jello (I went through a jello loving phase)

Not related to my name:
Little Dancer Girl (Levi and Casey were amused by my love of dancing)
Sarah (A couple of kids in summer school decided they couldn't say my name so they call me that, to this day.)
Lucy (Inside joke; *edit* at WheresMyAngels' request, the joke behind that name is this kid I used to date called me Lucy and I called him Ricky. I think it started because he was always telling me that I had some "splainin to do.")

*edit* Family nicknames
Ah-jelly (My sister calls me this)
Abigail (My dad calls me this, kinda rhymes with Adiel)
Adielita (My mom calls me this)

Now I come to the reason for this little chat about nicknames...
Last night at panty heaven, a girl I work with had a fun little conversation starting with how to say my name.
Clever Coworker: "Adele, right?"
Me: "No, Add-yell."
Clever Coworker: "Oh... Where'd you get that name anyway?"
Me: "My mom found it in a baby book, its hebrew, it means 'ornament of the lord'"
Clever Coworker: "Oh! Ornament! I know what I'll call you; Orny!"


Oh boy, I couldn't be more thrilled.
I think this one wins the award for best nickname ever.
